This Firm Just Finished 3D Printing a Steel Bridge
04/06/2018 - A Dutch firm, or, rather, a Dutch firm’s robots, have completed the world’s first 3D-printed steel bridge, a 40-foot steel span that will sit over a canal in Amsterdam.
“Last Thursday we tested out the bridge with 30 people, and it was fine. It behaves like a bridge, like it should. With the bridge deck on top, it will be even stronger,” Gijs van der Velden, co-founder of the firm, MXD3, told Gizmodo in an interview. MXD3 is a developer of robotic additive manufacturing technology.
